R.I.P. Flav’s Fried Chicken. Yours was a star that faded too soon.

…it seems incredibly strange that Flavor Flav, the famed rapper and reality television personality, would open the flagship of his nascent fried chicken chain in Clinton, of all places. The official story goes like this: Flav befriended the Cimino brothers, who own a small chain of Mama Cimino’s Pizza restaurants in Nevada, Iowa, and Illinois. When he began to sell his homemade chicken wings at the Vegas location, Nick Cimino got the idea to open a fried chicken restaurant next door to the Cimino’s in Clinton.

Flav’s Fried Chicken opened its doors [in January 2011], with locals and tourists alike lined up outside to have fried chicken dished up by the man himself. Flav has also given his word to the Clinton Herald that he would drop by often. “You’re going to be catching me seasoning my chicken, flouring my chicken, frying up my chicken, and not only that, but serving my chicken to my people.”

Clinton, IA - infamous for more than a failed chicken place run by a second-tier celebrity.

I was so disappointed when I went through Clinton this summer and wasn’t able to experience Flav’s chicken.
